According to President Bola Tinubu, if a person does not pay taxes to the established authorities, they are not considered citizens.
Tinubu made this statement on Friday at the Africa CEO Forum, which is presently being held in Rwanda.
He claimed that instead of paying taxes, people prefer to take use of the government-built infrastructure.
The middle class, the poor, and the wealthy are all negatively impacted by taxes. Everyone wants development, but they don’t address how the government will fund it.
“Everyone anticipates development, but they fail to address the issue of how to finance it. You want an excellent roadway, but you don’t want it to pass through your property. How do you grow?
“You don’t want to pay taxes, and you want a nice, well-equipped hospital. How do you take care of the weak and safeguard the children’s future? How is the pharmaceutical industry even researched and developed?
We recall COVID-19 and what transpired globally. Therefore, you must consider where the source and application of cash should be structured so that taxes are a priority in a world where you cannot forecast exactly what you must accomplish.
“A corporation or an individual is a citizen if they pay taxes. You are not a citizen if you do not pay taxes and are not exempt, according to Tinubu.
